How long do you keep my data?
Retention periods vary according to the type of data and the purpose for which it is held. Worthamence must define and document a specific retention period for each data category.
Can I withdraw my consent at any time?
Yes. If processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Will my data be transferred overseas?
Some technology service providers used by Worthamence may store or process data outside Australia. The relevant safeguards should be set out here based on the providers actually engaged.
